Our driver has two right hands - it's a long and sometimes grisly story - so they worked out OK for us.

Seriously, the KOP joysticks CAN be made better. We used a second spring in parallel with the original to get a stiffer feel, then cut away some plastic in the handle - think "holes drilled" - to cut the weight, all of which make them only half bad.
